7)BOSS

A new addition for 1314, the BOSS is to the EVIL TWIN what the GLOBALWARMER was to the AIROBIC: A GTI version! We took the shape andconstruction of the EVIL TWIN and tricked it out, making it even more poppy,responsive and fun.

The BOSS is a twin in both outline and contact shapes. Featuring the CORE CORE,which is a poplar wood core with two hardwood inserts running parallel to theedges and along the insert rows. These increase the core strength along theinserts while channeling stored elastic energy to deliver more pop. We gave thecore a mid flex and used core profiling to produce a flex pattern that is slightlysofter outside the bindings than between them. This keeps the BOSS superpoppy, while a stiffer core between the bindings keep the BOSS stable at highspeeds. The core is wrapped in TRI-AX laminate layers. One layer runs along theboard’s length and the other two make angles of 45 degrees with this layer, beingperpendicular to each other. The two perpendicular layersincrease the torsionalstiffness of the BOSS, making it more responsive and even more stable at highspeeds.

We also added carbon! Like the GW, the stringers run between the edges,reinforcing the binding area, but now they also cross over underneath your feet.These still further reinforce the inserts and general binding area as well asfocusing elastic energy to magnify pop, but because they now cross over, thestringers now also contribute to further torsional reinforcement. This stops theBOSS from getting twitchy at even the highest speeds without it becoming as stiffas a door! The result is a board that has a mid flex, both torsionally and along itslength.

Being symmetrical about the nose and tail, TWIN TBT is great for park riding!The centre base (non TBT) section features a smoothly curving camber profile asopposed to a trapezoidal one. This makes the BOSS brilliant for carving andgeneral riding. The side base (TBT) uplift on TWIN TBT begins just outside thebindings for a longer contact length when sliding on a flat base, making it morestable at high speeds. The centre base section is narrower than either JIB orPARK TBT and the total side base uplift is higher. This makes the BOSS moreagile on edge changes, more playful when piste riding and buttering as well asgiving it better float through powder.

The BOSS has LIGHTNING EDGES. These are thinner and our lightest edges,enabling you to carve with better feeling and exacting precision. The inserts havea PARTY PATTERN: 24 holes give the largest range of possible stance widths andultimate control over the exact placement of your bindings. The BOSS rocks asintered base for maximum hardness and higher terminal velocities so long as itis kept properly maintained. Perfect for milking speed on slushy spring park lapsand backcountry kickers.

The graphic features mythical creatures and horror film monsters overlaid witha message we recently tried to beam to aliens. No reply as yet. Basically, if youliked the EVIL TWIN, you will love the BOSS! We expect the team to go mad for itand you probably will too!

Sizes:

Don’t take our word for it:

Ethan says “The BOSS

isthe ultimate park board forpeople who love sending itonbig jumps, but stillenjoyhaving a few good runson the rails

when the day is over

and want to be able to lay down a nice nosepress to end the day with a good feeling. And no need to worry! It’s strong andpowerful, but still smooth to ride on rails.”
